Intro: C     F     C 
  

  C          F         C 
 Why did I dream last night? 
  C             F       C 
 Why did I not see the light? 
                Am 
 Cause here and now is what I've been waiting for 
         F 
 All my life this is what I was born to do 
          C                              Em 
 No sacrifice I wouldn't give it up for you 

  
      F              C 
 And set fire to my heart 
                      Am 
 Then tear my world apart 
                      Em 
 Just like you always do 
      F                    C 
 And give, give me just a taste 
                    Am 
 Then take it all away 
                  Em 
 I'm lost in the game 
                        Am 
 The game you call the fame 

  
 Am    F    C    Em   (2x) 


  C          F                        C 
 Why did I think there was something more? 
  C               F                        C 
 Why did it feel different to the years before? 
                 Am 
 Cause here and now is what I've been waiting for 
         F 
 All my life this is what I was born to do 
          C                              Em 
 No sacrifice I wouldn't give it up for you 

  
      F              C 
 And set fire to my heart 
                      Am 
 Then tear my world apart 
                      Em 
 Just like you always do 
      F                    C 
 And give, give me just a taste 
                    Am 
 Then take it all away 
                  Em 
 I'm lost in the game 
                        Am     F     C    Em 
 The game you call the fame  
                        Am     F     C    Em 
 The game you call the fame 
  

      F              C 
 And set fire to my heart 
                      Am 
 Then tear my world apart 
                      Em 
 Just like you always do 
      F                    C 
 And give, give me just a taste 
                    Am 
 Then take it all away 
                  Em 
 I'm lost in the game 
                        Am      
 The game you call the fame
